BISHOPS IN WALES ISSUE STATEMENT AHEAD OF SENEDD ASSISTED SUICIDE VOTE

Bishops Call on Senedd to Reject Assisted Suicide Bill

Archbishop Mark O’Toole of Cardiff-Menevia and Bishop Peter Brignall of Wrexham have expressed concern about the upcoming Senedd debate on assisted suicide set for January 27th. They believe the proposal would significantly change society’s approach to the terminally ill and advocate for improved palliative and end-of-life care to ensure dignity and comfort in patients’ final days.
A day of fasting is suggested on Monday, 26th January, to stand in solidarity with the
vulnerable and to engage respectfully with your Senedd member about this important
decision for Wales.
